See all- "Kimo the Waiter" at Kumu Kahua Theatre (Honolulu) Nov 14Kumu Kahua Theatre, Honolulu, HI
I've purchased a ticket for "Kimo the Waiter" WRITTEN BY Lee Cataluna at Kumu Kahua Theatre on Thursday, November 14, 2024 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. All tickets are discounted for Thursday performances.
If you wish to attend the play, purchase your ticket ASAP as their plays often sell out (online at Kimo the Waiter by Lee Cataluna Tickets, Multiple Dates | Eventbrite or via the box office).
We'll meet at 6:30PM to enter the house as seats are General Admission and not assigned.
About the play: In the 1980s, there were few roles for people of color, except for local television commercials. But those TV images of people in Hawaiʻi were, in some cases, even more limiting than Hollywood's idea of what it meant to be from Hawaiʻi. Kimo waits tables while pursuing his dream of acting professionally — but he’s always too brown...or not brown enough. Kimo's quest is funny, frustrating, and totally relatable as he tries to break free from stereotypical images of island characters. "Kimo" runs Thur-Sun, November 7 - December 8, 2024 (except Nov 28, which is Thanksgiving).
About the theater: Kumu Kahua Theatre is located in a historical building in downtown Honolulu, 46 Merchant Street, Honolulu, HI 96813. The former King Kamehameha V Post Office is on the National Register of Historic Places. The 100-seat playhouse features plays about life in Hawaiʻi, by Hawaiʻi playwrights, for the people of Hawaiʻi.
After the play: Those who wish can walk 3-1/2 blocks to J. Dolan's for pizza, 1147 Bethel St. They are open until 2AM. They don't take reservations. Bring cash; they don't split checks.
